Kolonias Can't Call

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

From the hijack, Alexandros Kolonias raised to 2,700 and small blind Koray Aldemir and big blind Martin Kozlov called. Both blinds checked on {J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Kolonias bet 4,000. Aldemir check-raised to 13,500 and Kozlov folded, Kolonias called.

Aldemir bet 16,500 on the {5-Hearts} turn and Kolonias called, leaving himself with 30,100.

The {6-Clubs} completed the board and Aldemir slid forward a big tower of 5,000-chips to put Kolonias all in. Kolonias thought about it for a minute or so before releasing his hand into the muck.

From the hijack, Nick Petrangelo raised to 2,500 and his neighbor Michael Ho in the cutoff called. One position over, Jakub Michalak squeezed his button to 10,400. Both blinds and Petrangelo released, Ho called.

Ho lead out for 8,300 on {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Michalak called. The two of them followed that up with checks on the {A-Hearts} turn and {5-Clubs} river and Ho showed {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Michalak revealed {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and took down the pot.

Max Silver Eliminated

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Max Silver
Max Silver

Yesterday, Max Silver's deep run in the €25,750 High Roller ended in fourth place, giving him a nice payday of €164,030. Today however, Silver busted quickly in uneventful fashion.

After a preflop raising war, Max Silver and Martin Kozlov got their stacks in the middle. Silver held {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}, but was outmatched by the Australian's {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}. The {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades} board didn't bring any help, and Silver was off to the rail to decide whether he wants to re-enter.

Fatehi Doubles, Chmielewski Out

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Marcin Chmielewski
Marcin Chmielewski

From the hijack, Marcin Chmielewski raised to 3,000 and his neighbor Ali Reza Fatehi called from the cutoff. Over on the button it was Orpen Kisacikoglu squeezing to 10,500 and both blinds released.

Action was back on Chmielewski and he four-bet to 25,000. Fatehi thought about it for just a bit before he moved in for 69,600. Kisacikoglu folded, Chmielewski called.

Marcin Chmielewski: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Ali Reza Fatehi: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Fatehi doubled up.

Chmielewski had about 25,000 left after the hand, but busted shortly after as he pushed with {A-}{7-} and was called by, again by Fatehi, {K-}{6-}. A six hit and Chmielewski made his way to the registration desk to buy back in. He drew the same seat, so he's back like nothing happened.
